Fear and Loathing Inside The Deep State

Everyone in the Deep State is threatened by the Trump Presidency. The Deep State understands that power, funding, ideological stratagems and domination of government, media, academia, think tanks and NGOs are in the ‘field of fight’, to use the book title by a prime target the Deep State intends to destroy in order to save itself from Trump.

Lt. General (ret.) Michael T. Flynn

Lt. General (ret.) Michael T. Flynn, three-star expert in Military Intelligence, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), counselor to Trump for the last fifteen months, is a vital Trump ally the Deep State is attempting to discredit.

We have seen the one-week ferocious political and media attack on Stephen Bannon, begun the instant that Bannon was named Trump’s number one strategist-advisor. Bannon is the theologian of Drain the Swamp, the Trump policy to rid the system of corruption and catastrophically disastrous policies and bureaucrat enablers.

To understand Steve Bannon, take the time to read this transcription or listen to the audio Q&A from a 2014 event in the Vatican. He lays out his philosophical agenda, and used the 2016 campaign to advance his war on the Elites.

Drain the Swamp pertains to more than getting the corruption out of the system.

Steve Bannon

Bannon now has Trump’s full backing to destroy the UniParty, defeat the Globalists, banish the warmongers of the MIC and help the legal prosecution of the corrupt. This is the Revolution to end the domestic Tyranny and the global Hegemon.

The usual weapons of personal destruction have been launched at Bannon to destroy him and to deprive Trump of his most effective counselor and field marshall. Bannon has been branded a racist, an anti-semite, a white supremacist, an Islamophobe and a misogynist. In every forum and media outlet, the meme of Bannon being the worst human on the planet played as intensively as how the Dems attacked Trump during the campaign.

Relentless lies, chorused by every host, talking head, and hater of every value Trump and Bannon had campaigned for were spewed on Bannon’s name. All fabricated, most based on a few headlines written by Milo Yiannopoulos in Breitbart.com, alt right agitprop pieces constructed to collect reader clicks, revenues for Breitbart and fame for Milo. Bannon as chief of Breitbart was then scourged for those headlines. Mockery by Milo used against Steve Bannon.

It was all the Media needed. But the Deep State directed it for good reason. Bannon is the Pale Rider coming to destroy them.

Steve Bannon is dedicated to cleansing government and the financial system controlled by all those who have reigned over the foreign regime changes, the transfer of middle class wealth and income to Wall Street, paper wealth from derivatives to hedge fund and corporate global leaders, trillions to the 0.01% elites, all of whom populate the Ultra Wealthy Class, a new feudalism of billionaires and millionaires.

Bannon’s life long credentials and work with Jews, Blacks, females and Muslims eventually helped stifle the Media excesses. But the vicious branding may stick long after the inauguration.

Flynn also is sickened with the 2012 Benghazi event and coverup, the lies of Clinton and the abandonment by the command structure of CIA, Pentagon, State and NSC. The Syrian war, the attempted coup of Erdogan, and the carnage wrought by bad policies, sheepish leadership and less-than-best methods of Intelligence gathering and usage motivated the General to join Trump.

Flynn is now Trump’s guide into the Presidential raw data Intel reports and briefings. General Flynn is Trump’s personal analyst for interpretation of the data. Flynn has attended every briefing Trump has received. He is in place and the Deep State is out. So, they have mounted their counter-attack as soon as it was clear he would head the reform of the Intelligence community, and serve the newly elected President.

Flynn has recruited over two hundred generals and admirals and twenty-two Medal of Honor recipients to the successful Trump campaign. Now some of the generals are possible cabinet or undersecretary department nominees or agency appointees.

The Deep State is in deep trouble. General Flynn will probably be NSC head and I think he will have real power over fifteen other Intelligence agencies. Flynn may have great power over huge swaths of the MIC. He certainly will assist in the cleaning out of neocons and feckless employees, managers, supervisors and directors.

Against Flynn, the Deep State is using a more traditional model of career attack and personal destruction than it did with Bannon. Multiple articles written to show that Flynn and Putin, Flynn and Russia, Flynn and RT media are part of the Trump gang of pro-Russian contacts connected to the Kremlin.

Below is General Flynn at dinner with President Putin in Moscow. He explains in an interview.

Other Trump-Putin supposed contacts are Carter Page and Paul Manafort, both of whom were attacked by the Media for the Deep State months ago. They resigned under political pressure applied through the media.

In a payback, the Deep State lost some of their own sent to the Trump campaign who were unable to survive first inspection. They were dropped from the Trump campaign transition team.

But, once Trump is sworn in, Carter Page will be back, most likely. He has connections to Gazprom, is well-liked in Moscow, and will be a link for American energy companies and perhaps some joint ventures in the gas field development and pipeline industry. Several friends of Trump are from the gas and oil industry, and the world is a small world when energy is the issue. The Arctic, the eastern Mediterranean, the South China Sea and other large development zones have enormous new fields to be tapped and exploited. Even the Black Sea zone around Crimea has yet-to-be-tapped energy stores.

The primary interest of the Trump foreign policy will be to make America wealthy again. The Eurasian development has already attracted Trump to the OBOR of China and the AIIB infrastructure bank. Probably the entire New Silk Road of China and EAEU of Russia is not going to be without major US participation. The difference now is facilitation, participation, investment and benefits instead of obstruction, destabilization and terrorism used to thwart it all.

To destroy Flynn and weaken Trump with the Intelligence and Military communities, the classic Washington technique of long articles with many negative anonymous sourced comments was used, carefully crafted headlines and paragraph headers, all designed for very negative Google Search feeds.

The latest is about Flynn and Turkish “operatives”. Sounds like they met in dark alleys or underground passageways. Maybe in some Ankara safehouse, eh?

But Flynn is obviously being watched closely by CIA/State Dept. They know he is doing the bidding of Trump. And for good reason, Trump needs to know which way Turkey is leaning post-coup? And how sensitive is the Kurd issue in Syria? What are the ramifications of the US and Russia working in tandem against ISIS in Syria? Will Turkey help with safe zones for refugees? Will Turkey leave Syria after the war or does it plan to resist Russia and Assad? What about NATO? What about the Uyghurs Turkey protects, and is China being forced to come with military to put down the Uyghurs inside ISIS? Will the issue of demanding Fethullah Gulen’s extradition continue? Will there be mass death penalties for the imprisoned coup participants and Gulen’s followers?

Flynn had a panoply of possible questions to be answered by the operatives from Erdogan. And the Turks would have questions they wanted answered with some hint of Trump’s positions.

The Deep State are tracking Flynn and the Turks and are now exposing his links as a professional consultant. Nothing illegal. Nothing suspicious. Nothing out of the ordinary. But it was General Flynn, Trump’s guy. Smear him.

How else would this information surface in the Washington Post except from the Deep State? And if you know the history of the Deep State, the WaPo is their first choice for all leaks, briefings in depth, exposes used to undermine officials who cross them or who point to the Deep States’ misdeeds or failures. You won’t find Sy Hersh’s articles in WaPo.

The point of the articles about General Flynn was to shame him, to put down his personality, his lack of obedience to the Obama regime. He was investigated for giving Intel to foreign nations, we are told. He shared Intelligence with the Pakistanis, we are told. Read how his fellow generals talk about him.

Imagine if the Deep State decided that Intelligence should never be shared. Well, the U.S. would have no allies. No nation joins a war effort without Intelligence for their military. Flynn, whose entire thirty-plus year career has been in Intelligence understands that. And he did it. Proudly, he related to the investigators, and it all was dropped except the record and the reporting of it now.

The investigation was actually to cast a black mark on Flynn to be found later, by the uninformed, at the most sensitive of times. In this case, it is to weaken Flynn, to weaken Trump.

“Mike Flynn shares Intel. Mike Flynn acts without checking with what the Deep State wants.” It turns out that Flynn did get approval for all he did. But he simply did the professional thing. He acted in behalf of his specialty, his profession, his oath of duty and the American people who paid him to protect America.

There is something to be gained by studying this meeting with Turkey’s operatives. Flynn’s meeting signals that Trump will not likely arm the Kurds with heavy weapons. That would drive Turkey into the Russian-Iranian embrace fully. A practical solution to defeating ISIS and AQ and ending the Syrian war has to avoid losing Turkey. Trump is not going to be trying to coup anyone. His policy is no regime changes. He also does not like these secret wars of the CIA. If there is to be war, he wants it fought by the military, with a plan for victory. Principally, Trump’s wars will be like President Eisenhower’s. There were none for eight years.

The warmongers and neocons of the Deep State and surface government will try to work over all the Trump nominees in the security and policy arena. Trump has refused to listen to any of them, though a few have been invited in to the goings on. However, we don’t know who is talking to Trump and who is talking to the various panels of experts that will advise who they think he should select. So a few neocons and warmongers like John Bolton and General Keane have made it into Trump Tower. But he eschewed them all these years and throughout the campaign. I doubt they will have any role in policy. He considers them failures.

Expect very deep shakeouts at CIA and State. I think Flynn will use fellow military he knows and trusts as deputies and undersecretaries. General Keith Kellogg and General Ronald Burgess are likely for important positions.

There has to be this cleaning out of the subterranean world of the Deep State. If President Carter got rid of 800 officers when Stansfield Turner tried cleaning out the CIA, I’m betting there are 1500 officers in the CIA who need retirement now.

As for the State Department and the Clinton corruption of pay for play, that is only half the problem. The eighty years of Khazarian dominance of the State Department has created the need that whole thing ought to be shut down except for visas at embassies and consulates. (I’d use the Commerce Department in the interim. Send everyone else from State home. Board up Foggy Bottom for ten years.)

Addendum: General Flynn early in the primary campaign consulted as advisor to five candidates. Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump. He chose Trump as the one who wanted to be President in order to fix the country and make America great again. Now, Trump, Bannon and Flynn are going to drain the swamp, if they can survive.

(Flynn has been named NSC Advisor and will command a staff of 400 from all the other Intel agencies, it has been reported by Fox and AP.)

Okay, Trump has arrived. The Deep State hates Trump and a bit wary about him.

But it needs time to change the “Ecosystem” created by the Deep State over the years. A part of Judiciary, Administration, Financial system, Industry and Intelligentsia, Universities including Think Tanks owe their existence to the Deep State. Even the partners of US beyond its border are in debt to Deep State. It will be a Herculean task the clean the system.

It will take time…. minimum 08 years, i.e., Trump would need two terms to do that. The basic thing is – one has to change the Narrative that has been built over years and has even distorted the intellectual discourse for so many years that the ‘Distorted Narrative’ appears “Normal”.

Same thing happened in India after Modi won. But the stranglehold of the Indian deep state has not loosened much in last two years.

While I agree that Flynn is overal good, and he seems to be pro-russian or atleast neutral. Flynn has also said so really weird stuff. Look at this interview were Flynn nods along and agrees with this statement.

“We’re fighting an alliance of radical Muslims and radical secularists. And they’re in cahouts. They work together and their fundamental objective is to rule the world which requires eliminating us. So we are their prime candidate and it extends from radical Muslim countries like Iran and radical Muslim movements like ISIS and al-Qaeda and so forth all the way to people who are certainly not radical Muslims, Putin, North Korea, Cuba, so forth. These are people who are not radical Muslims but there’s an alliance between them and the Jihadis. That’s what we’re fighting. ”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECWtpHiPIXg

This is what I call a “Narrative” that has been created over time. And it takes enough time and effort to dislodge that Narrative.

A good person with good intentions may not be helpful when he believes in a False Narrative. What is needed is an Intelligent person who can understand the falsity of any Narrative when faced with Facts. We do have hope on Trump as well as on Putin about that capacity. Let’s see.

Good comment Chakra. So much of the warring going on is about who will create the dominant narrative. Now that we have access to facts, and multiple viewpoints, I am confident that a number of more accurate maps are being created as we speak.

I should point out that Gen Flynn in his interviews on RT considers Iran to as much as Islamist threat as Salafism and Wahabism and Saudi malefeance. Many on this site would consider this intellectually dishonest and untrustworthy behavior. In addition he described Hezbollah as a terrorist Islamist organization (in an RT interview).

I can’t begin to describe the inaccuracies, wishful thinking, a pure unsubstantiated projections in this opinion piece, they’re too long to list, I’ll just put across some points that require attention; inconsistencies in what we’ve been lead to believe regarding Trump and his team:

1) One of the premises of this site is the concept of the Anglo”Zionist” empire. I for one am not convinced of the “Zionist” part of this theory, but do accept the “Anglo” part since the US’s hegemonic behavior parallels the overt rape, bleeding and pillage by the British Empire. However for those of you who do subscribe “Zionist” half of the Anglo-Zionist theory, please explain to me point #2, below:

2) Trump is on record as being an ardent supporter of Israel, he freely admits to believing in Zionism, please see the below video by Ezra Levant, a diehard Zionist and supporter of Israel, highlighting video evidence of Trump’s support of Israel, Zionism and the fact that his daughter, the one married to kuschner had converted to Judaism and that all of his adult children are in serious marital headed relationships (dating) with Jewish boyfriends or girlfriends. I am sure this last fact is going cause severe heartburn to the anti Semitic supporters of Trump. But what of those here who believe that the enemy is the Anglo “Zionist” empire? How are you going to square that circle when it comes to Trump?

Zionism is part and parcel of America, given the protestant religious heritage : “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.” The problem arises because the term ‘Israel’ has more meanings than Podesta’s ‘pizza.’

I always feel like the greatest of minorities in these conversations. As an American, who served as a Navy Corpsman with the Marines, just after Vietnam, I come to this whole perception of Trump and the whole of U.S. government as one who didn’t vote for either choices presented, but voted for one of the other attendees at the table with Flynn and Putin, Jill Stein. For the record, I am anti-Zionist, but more from a spiritual-philosophical perspective than a political one. Basically, I consider everything that springs from the minds of the followers of Abraham, in all it’s derivative branches, to be the basis for all the troubles we are faced with today. Islam is but another manifestation of radical Christianity, once the zealousness fizzled out in the conquest of conquering Europa and the Americas. The same mind parasite infects radical Islam in it’s drive to sow discord, suppress the feminine and pervert the thinking of the natural man to keep him/her confused and at war within themselves. Being of European decent, I can only make my stand with others of my tribe, against those who would seek to eradicate us for some grand social experiment that the goal of which escapes me, except to say it most probably is the usual madness that infects the minds of these “believers.” . I can no more support a government that holds to a Judeo-Christian ethic, like Bannon envisions, or any other ideal that seeks to exploit the planet without ceasing or fails to grasp the basic understanding that what we are using to empower our societies is at the heart of all our conflict. The root and cause of all of our dis-ease is the three great religions that sprang from Abraham and the societies that lay claim to that influence as the hallmark of it’s existence. Until we free ourselves of these haters of nature and the earth, we are doomed to continue in this spiral of self-destruction that is at the heart of these exercises in faith. The misuse of the gifts of the planet is what drives these senseless wars. China, seeking to protect the oil routes it needs to feed it’s emerging economy is at the heart of those troubles. Russia, trying to exploit it’s vast riches and being thwarted for fear of it’s rising position. All for the sake of oil and gas. Mindless. We need a new energy source or we’ll all inhabit a nuclear radiated cinder.

We need a new power source that frees men from the need to enslave themselves to maintain a lifestyle that he doesn’t really understand, and if he did, would reject from the clear understanding that he can’t sustain it. To do so, only enslaves him and his progeny, to those who wish to only allow energy sources that can be metered and controlled. Until that day comes, we will continue in these, although engrossing and lively, debates about the deeds of the mighty and connected. Frankly, I sense, at a level that is far more gratifying, that those who stand together in resistance at Standing Rock, are a far better example of where we all need to be than any administration of Trump or any other wanna be leader can ever hope to accomplish. Here’s to standing back and hoping that as they fall under they’re own inescapable debt/derivative mountain, that they leave enough of the earth left for the real humans to inhabit. As an American, I will probably continue to withdraw participation in this madness, more and more. I love the idea of my country, but, I still haven’t seen anything close to that ideal. Except among those who the founding fathers fashioned a large portion of the original intent upon. They just left out the large contribution and authority given to the women of the Iroquois Confederation and the Council of Mothers. America is still a good idea, worth fighting for. I honestly wish Trump well in ridding us of the neo-con infestation. But I do have concern with the heavy consideration given to the tenets of Judaism in his household. I am not encouraged.

As for Flynn, I always liked serving under officers of his stripe. Not bound to convention and willing to strive outside the imaginary boundaries erected for behavior. I think they called that “boldness and daring initiative.” Like him, I am also a registered Democrat, but left it shortly after the arrival of the Clintons and the New Democrats. Humph, you can see where they led us. They had a smell when they arrived and it only intensified with the rise of that sulfurous witch Hillary. I know, as my 80 year-old Democratic mother and I, watched the returns and it became clear that Trump had won, that we both felt a sense of relief that Hillary hadn’t completed her coronation. All I know is that I am more than willing to partner with Russia and stop all this neocon insanity that only serves the desires of the Israelies. Of course, being the snakes they are, they’ll just shed their skins and become something else. I am intrigued with the choice of Flynn and will watch with interest what he does.

A wonderful, optimistic view. I hope it’s true but it’s very hopefulness in the midst of so much hand wringing and whining makes it appear less than real. Yet it seems to come from reliable inner circles who can be trusted. Right at the end, the phrase “if they can survive” clouds over the whole piece, giving it a realistic touch.

I was thinking to myself just a few minutes ago that I only know what I read and hear from various sources, mostly from our side. I wasn’t there. I have to use my intelligence, BS meter and intuitional gut feeling to form some notion of what is true and what is false. I was surprised that a commenter here could be so well informed and confident, except for that aforementioned phrase. I don’t know why; maybe it’s the Jesus syndrome: not being believed in his home town because after all we know he is a carpenter’s son, and we know his parents and relatives–well, you know story.

I hope we get regular reports from Larch-. He or she is a remarkable writer and analyst. I need to get over my home town prejudice. Many thanks for this ray of sanity. Why am I surprised it appears here? I don’t know but I’ll add it to the mix of everything else I don’t know from personal experience. The ensuing comments will no doubt shed further light, as is the function of a community of open minds and dedicated hearts.

Just about everything the system, controlled by the mafia, tells/told us is a pack of lies. And there aren’t too many who they do not control, and who tell the truth. But a lie never lives to be old, and once you’ve lost credibility, you’ve really lost credibility (the JM$M & the whole godd@mn system).
I actually find it a solid, sober article, including the last sentence. Forget about the Italian mafia, that was just build up by them to distract from themselves. There’s only one mafia, poisonous & depraved beyond believe, and their trademark, over the centuries, is backstabbing, murder, and assassination (e.g. poisoning).

Just one small instance; “President James Buchanan, who opposed a private (alien) central bank was poisoned with arsenic, and only barely survived, although 38 other people at the dinner died”.

“IG Farben had bought the patent for the pesticide Zyklon B, which had been invented by the Nobel Prize-winning Jewish German chemist Fritz Haber’s research group at the Institute for Physical Chemistry and Elektrochemistry in the 1920s, and which was originally used as an insecticide, especially as a fumigant in grain stores. IG Farben licensed the pesticide to various companies, including the American Cyanamid Company for use, for example, in de-lousing incoming Mexican immigrants in the 1930s, and to the German company Degesch (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Schädlingsbekämpfung), founded by Fritz Haber, and whose products were used in Holocaust gas chambers. IG Farben owned 42.2 % of the shares of Degesch and was represented in its supervisory board. Pesticides similar to Zyklon B remain in production by other companies, and are used e.g. as insecticides.

Of the 24 directors of IG Farben indicted in the so-called IG Farben Trial (1947–1948) before a U.S. military tribunal at the subsequent Nuremberg Trials, 13 were sentenced to prison terms between one and eight years, but most were quickly released and several became senior industry executives in the post-war companies that split off from IG Farben and other companies.”.

Yes, that’s right. The ‘gas chambers’ as in ‘death camps’ is one of the many monstrous lies about WWII. There’s no question about that at all. (the Rheinwiesenlager were US-Nazi death camps, though)

It is very simple, Germany was intentionally attacked by the rest of the world (WWI), on behalf of the bankster Jews (= Nazis), who ran the British Empire (Rothschild’s mafia), they also controlled the US since 1913.
They occupied Germany in 1918 (coup d’état), and took over (seizing of companies), and control it ever since.. When these same Nazis (Trotskyite-Bolsheviks) failed to enslave Russia, they and their agencies (e.g. OSS, MI6) devised the Hitler Project (just like they created ISIS recently,) to destroy and occupy Stalin’s Russia, but also. among other things. to establish ‘Israel’.

So the Nazis, these bankster Jews, the leadership of Phariseic Talmudism, really did terrorize poor non-Zionist Jews, that’s why the weird name ‘holocaust’. Of course all top Nazis (merely Rothschild agents) changed uniforms, became CIA, BND, NATO, whatever, or ‘committed suicide’ (= were evacuated to Argentina).

This is a good book. Makes a strong case that the suicide story propagated in the West and eventually endorsed by the Soviets is BS. The book doesn’t present the Final Story, though, that’s just the title to sell it. The book is much better than cover and title.

Excellent report, sufficient depth and links to prove it’s veracity and quite poignant for the situation at hand in US and The World.

With the election of Mr. Trump USA has been given it’s last chance. Either this mess is fixed now or it will be impossible to repair in future and life as Americans knew it, said life deteriorating at an ever accelerating pace for the last eight year, will be gone forever, ‘they’ will have won and American freedoms will be but a distant memory and that memory will rapidly disappear from printed and electronic systems.

Watching from afar for the last decade has been an eye opener for me. I see things from a different perspective and I am privy to some, actually many, informations that Americans either do not have or don’t take the trouble to research and find, plus I get a much better prospective of both sides viewed from half a world away.

Larchmonter has written an excellent view of what is happening with Mr. Trump and his forming cabinet and advisers. He has a very good and deep grasp of the struggle we are in and he has laid out chapter and verse of what is and what will be happening. Look for every increasing vitriol, if that is possible, from both Deep State and their more than willing minions in Europe and scattered all over the world. It’s going to be a very interesting time and if Mr. Trump is successful in returning USA to the citizens thereof this cataclysmic change in our culture will go down in history. You will see how dangerous Mr. Trump is to US deep state and to this blog when you see the masterful trolls appear with their very well written posts with subtle misinformations, but then they’ve been here for a few months, off and on. Expect a full blown attack on Mr. Trump and everyone around him.

As an aside, apparently Obama and Merkel were discussing more sanctions against Russia yesterday, this time because of ‘Russia’s bombing in Syria’. The hubris is at an astounding level. The last kickings of two dying beasts.

I imagine the majority of the Deep State would fall into the Patriot category. The ‘Borg’, the zionazi infiltrators favoured by every administration since Kennedy, are swinging in the breeze without their political cover. They all have a list of crimes as long as my arm; indeed these crimes are their entry ticket. They will play incredibly hard, unencumbered by morality, regret or a shred of Human decency. But as Mao and Trump says, drain the swamp and they are left flapping around in the hot sun.

Yes… except for Bolton. That’s not only a sour note, that’s a huge red flag not easily dismissed by Larchmonter’s assertion that “[Trump] eschewed them all these years and throughout the campaign. I doubt they will have any role in policy. He considers them failures”.

Bolton’s appearance on the Trump team subverts Larchmonter’s attempts as reassurance.

The white paper by Flynn linked in Larchmonter445’s article shows up as 404 error, however, the website is that of CNAS, the Centre for a New American Security. This is a buzzing nest of Neocons and CFR creeps, and an association between Flynn and this snake pit troubles me greatly. Why so sure that Flynn would be a safer choice for peace?

Not to mention…Woolsey, or Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel. (not to mention the $25 M donated to Trump in the final week by BIG ZIO Sheldon Adelson. I think it’s a big mistake to view Trump as anything more than the 45th president of the United States. Recent history shows that each has been worse than the one before. I am under no illusions this pattern has been broken with Trump. As such, progressive forces should prepare for battle against this latest American oligarchic enemy.

John Gilberts, agree. We will be labelled as “the cynics”, but time will tell. Not, that I would not love to believe in the “pattern change”, but, you know… ;)

In my point of view, that’s all the psyop game to crush the will of the people. First you raise their expectations sky-high, and then you brutally disappoint them. They will become desperate, so that somebody else can drive their hope again even higher, and then you crush them again. The result will be passive mass of medicated soulless walking dead shadows. No need for FEMA camps to achieve that…

Wiki definiton of psyop:
The term is used “to denote any action which is practiced mainly by psychological methods with the aim of evoking a planned psychological reaction in other people.”[2] Various techniques are used, and are aimed at influencing a target audience’s value system, belief system, emotions, motives, reasoning, or behavior.

An excellent observation that gets the mind bouncing furiously between the mirrors that line the rabbit hole.

Indeed, what if the entire election was a ruse to get Trump in? With enough sophisticated awareness, certainly social engineeers & psyop warriors fathomed the mood of the country and knew that the more Trump was universally vituperated for reaching out to the social and economic “losers” by speaking their language, the stronger his chance of victory by forces wanting to flip the finger to the establishment. Which makes him the perfect establishment trojan horse for the final push to cement the AZ neolib/con globalist forces into place.

> “First you raise their expectations sky-high, and then you brutally disappoint them. They will become desperate, so that somebody else can drive their hope again even higher, and then you crush them again.”

This strategy worked so well with Obama (though, to be fair, no one bothered to actually listen to what he was saying, so mesmerized were voters by his skin color to send an empty black suit to win a selfish, if historically symbolic, victory), imagine how well it’ll work with Trump! Contrary to Larchmonter’s attempts at soothing us, it’s looking like Trump’s team is not only troubling, but quite alarming, rapidly filling up with transparently evil zealots.

In my point of view, that’s all the psyop game to crush the will of the people. First you raise their expectations sky-high, and then you brutally disappoint them. They will become desperate, so that somebody else can drive their hope again even higher, and then you crush them again. The result will be passive mass of medicated soulless walking shadows

Your above state my is virtually identical to my own hypothesis formulated over some time. No better way to destroy hope. The fact that you and I have extracted this scenario from our independent observations means millions of other minds may have done so too, and perhaps that will be the antidote to any attempt to implement this psy-ops.

Anon, and as a bonus you get divided population fighting each other while Soros & Co. are laughing & jerking in the shadows.

Some of the people here are arguing, that above opinion is attributing too much power to the Elite. That it’s basically their false narrative in order to convince us, that resistance is futile. My contra-argument is: if they were not intelligent, sophisticated & complex in their endeavours, they would not be able to play that game successfully for centuries…

But as I commented elsewhere, the psychopaths know very well our human psychological weaknesses and how easily we are played on…

And look at the failed opposition attempts aka Occupy, Anonymous etc.
“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” Lenin

It is also possible that the psyops is working on John and Rublev and Anonymous multiplied by a few million to encourage folk to “stand down” and stay out of the kitchen, where you might get burned.

I’d rather see a bit of feistiness directed toward helping any enemies of the MSM mind control machine take this in directions no elites can bottle up with mind control, after their “fourth estate” goes through an estate sale after Honey Badger Bannon rips the treasonous underbelly out of it.

What’s missing in all these discussions of passive guesswork as to what this or that fixed quantity (from the Donald, down to the most humble American voter) might be and how he or she might act is the possibility that they are human beings, not robots,and as such have consciousness that might actually change, and adjust, for the better, if their spirit finds a way to rise before it is crushed!

Admittedly, this is very hard for many people to imagine, since they are empiricists, and empirically they have noticed for multiple decades that consciousness is easier to drive down than it is to be raised up. In this state of mind, it is tempting to hoard one’s spiritual chips, and never again wager that “The Good” might win. This illusion of “saving face” from the threat of further “loss” and disappointment is a deception that takes them out of current history as a potential positive factor, effectively disconnecting them from any possibility of acting as agents of anything of any good or worth, in terms of humanity’s future.

Lack of courage, lack of will
Sap the soul, and spirit kill.

It is said that goldfish in a bowl for years program themselves to always turn in tight circles, and when released into a lake or pond, still cannot think or swim straight.

They show no gratitude for their new freedom of movement options, they swim in little circles until they die.

In point of fact, there are numerous flanks that can change the geometry in which Trump, every Empire stooge and every human being on earth must navigate within. Participating in improving that geometry is the actual potential calling to every person’s consciousness who is alive, mentally, with a human identity, rather than caged animals in a prison. Many will refuse to do aught but watch and grouse. Their spiritual capital is spent. They don’t want it renewed, because they are unable to bear any more disappointment, and any more gas in that tank would compel decisions and courses of actions they refuse to take.

The Donald might gravely disappoint. So might YOU. But we won’t need to wait that long, for the geometry, the glass bowl walls to move in or out. Glass Steagall is on the agenda of the next congress. It can be rammed down Obummer’s throat, overriding his veto just as JASTA was. If re-enactment passes House and Senate, and you’re still singing the same tune, your subjective state of mind becomes the transparently greatest objective obstacle standing in the way of further routs and clean outs of elites you say you detest, but won’t lift a finger against.

So please chew on them apples for a little while, before you spit them out.

So, it is not that we have not already any remaining spirit to fight nor that our souls are died, but, on the contrary, the same as it was considered all the way morally unbearable that the salient US administration found a useful companion in ISIS to achieve its economic and geostrategic goals, tha same for some of us is wholly unbearable to find as travel companions both, Trump´s team and your team.

This is not as to mean that we are going to give up the fight, and you know it, hence the turning from the “true love” to the “more prosaic” shot, right now.
Nothing new under the sun….

On the other hand, to wait for that these already almost elder people could have changed a bit from their historical positions/perspectives is, as if you were “Waiting for Godot”, totally delusional.

Almost 50% of the population in the US did not vote at all, around a 25.7 % voted for H. Clinton, and around 25.9% voted for D.Trump, so this government is distant from being representative of the peoples in the US, and it is not fair at all that a bunch of elders and almost elders try to get all the US population backwards to times that can not come back, and that, besides, were not at all the path of roses some, like Aulander are painting in his article, but there were also very dark zones in them. You, simply, will not be able to force this rule over the young population in the US nor over any young population in the world…..
Unless you play the card of extermination, as was played during the 70s/ 80s in Latin America, something I do not discard at all seeing how things are developing since the election day and who are those who remain trying us to be blind to the facts and reality.

Bro 93, nicely & well articulated thoughts, which substance I agree on ;)
Of course, there is that deep psychological block to avoid further disappointment. On the other hand, it would be fool to waste ones emotional & spiritual energy to get hooked & crushed again and again.

My Book is giving me wisdom, that is bringing peace into my soul, regardles what’s going on on the Shakesperean global planks…

“he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:”

Lachmonters great first (to me) Artikel in 2015, stating him to be a realistic busynessmann, made me an alien among most of old supposed friends, even my son with his bias for variant B (ern) of the AZ.
But some of my astrological friends where fully clear in the brain with Trump.
Congrats, Larch.

Wow. Looks like America did it again. I have to admit i had all but given up hope. And by “did it again” i mean – “came to its senses,” “has realized it’s deply ailing and got serious about healing itself”

“President-elect Donald Trump has named retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn as his new national security adviser, according to a close source. The former DIA chief has been criticized in US circles for refusing to take an anti-Russian stance.”

Thanks. I read some of the links, in particular, the Flynn-Priest interview. I liked the way Flynn dealth with Priest, in particular, the questions that were driven by an agenda and false “givens” that Flynn “outed” with dispatch. Sure, he is not a “smooth talker,” but he made his points successfully. And in a style that suggests to me that he will not be easy roadkill for the Deep State.
I hope I am right.
As for Trump choosing a small band of allies, also from among his familiy members, I don’t really see what is wrong with that, as long as they are smart, and his kids do seem to be smart. Remember that JFK relied on his brother, RFK. OK, RFK was an attorney, not a businessman, but RFK also had some skeletons in his closet, namely, his work with the HUAC and McCarthy (can’t recall his exact position). But he was competent and he was loyal to his brother, the president. JFK would not have been able to stand up to the CIA (BAy of Pigs), the steel giants when they tried to roll JFK and break they deal they had made on wages and get away with it (RFK’s Justice Department stood up to them, successfully—of course, leading to the addition of the steel giants and the MIC of which they are a part to the JFK enemies list ).

Loyalty to the president and sharing his goals is of paramount importance In the even more shark-infested waters of Washington today. One can buy a consultant’s or expert’s expertise, but one cannot buy loyalty.

BTW, just read somewhere a quote from Truman: “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.”

Great to see an article by Larchmonter-hopefully Flynn will be in touch withfor example Ray McGovern, Michael Maloof ex CIA, VIPS etc etc…….I remember some months ago a muliti signed letter-petition expressing deep concerns at things , via the VIPS site.
RT show 17 Nov

The election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States has left America’s friends and foes in a state of shock. As the world tries to process the new American reality, could Trump’s presidency prove to be just as groundbreaking as his campaign and election turned out to be? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by James Woolsey, senior adviser to the Trump campaign and former CIA director under President Bill Clinton.

From this interview with Flynn back in July of this year, we see who the evil ones are in his eyes (the old suspects: Russia, Cuba, Venezuela) and which other victim, aside from the US, is the object of their hatred (Israel)

[…] “This administration has forbidden us to describe our enemies properly and clearly: they are Radical Islamists,” Flynn writes. “They are not alone, and are allied with countries and groups who, though not religious fanatics, share their hatred of the West, particularly the United States and Israel. Those allies include North Korea, Russia, China, Cuba, and Venezuela.”“Let’s face it: right now we’re losing, and I’m talking about a very big war, not just Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan,” […]

“The Russian website InoSMI.ru, which publishes foreign media articles translated into Russian, has been unavailable for all those in the European Parliament, Estonia’s MEP Yana Toom said on her Facebook page.

The website, launched by RIA Novosti in February 2004, is visited by tens of thousands of users from Russia and beyond on a daily basis. It features translations of articles published in the world’s leading newspapers and magazines.

“Next week in Strasbourg, the Parliament will vote for a resolution on the fight against propaganda of third countries; yes, you understood it correctly: the main third country is Russia,” Toom’s Facebook account read.

“But now, without waiting for the vote, MEPs decided jump the gun and block access to the InoSMI.ru website on the European Parliament’s computer network,” she noted.”

The eu imitating right wing american censorship practices like the good little right wing poodles they are.

On Thursday, the United Nations human rights committee approved a resolution called “Combating Glorification Of Nazism, Neo-Nazism And Other Practices That Contribute To Fueling Contemporary Forms Of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, And Related Intolerance.”

The resolution was supported by 131 countries while 48 abstained. The United States, Ukraine and Palau were the only ones to vote against the document.”

Not really puzzling. The ukraine vote is what to be expected of the present ukrainian abomination. The americans (especially their rulers) always back nazis and their sort of right wing fanaticism because it reflects the delusional exceptionalism meme and cultural defects in american society. Palau is an american colony.

“In May, he claimed in an Al Jazeera interview that the rise of Islamic extremism in the Middle East, including the emergence of Al-Nusra Front and Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria, was not the result of chance or ignorance – but of calculated thinking.

Flynn told RT in October that he strongly believes that “Russia and the United States working together and trying to work with the other partners that we all have in this region can come up with some other solutions.”

Flynn might prove a reasonable choice, and seems to support what trump had said on the campaign trail. But pompeo and sessions come across as the usual aipac owned american right wing, criminal, corrupt filth.

Odd how criminality, corruption and right wing traits are so often embodied in the same individual. I wonder if there is a genetic connection to it, not just a failed social environment?

2 “All comments have to be impeccably courteous to me, the blog’s author, moderators, any guest author and all the other commentators. Absolutely no ad hominems or personal attacks. Comments insulting the 1% plutocracy ruling the AngloZionist Empire are allowed and encouraged.” – fk mod

Somewhere in the rich comments of this community, sometime before the elections, there was a link to some article arguing that the “deep state” is in fact interested in Trump to win. That article even had some kind of diagram depicting various components of the named entity – after all, what is “deep state” more exactly ?

Events which followed proved the author and his diagrams correct: Trump won.

Have elections been rigged or not ?
If yes, who did it ?
How ?
By how much ?

SeptikSceptik, I don’t know about a.m. comment with diagram. But from below election results analysis of Miles it is clear, it is just made up. At least, becouse the presented numbers are mathematically impossible:http://mileswmathis.com/trump2.pdf

@ Ron Showalter
I totally agree, which is why I could not read the bulk of this opinion piece: -for me, it was a waste of time to have read up to point I did read; I’m rather picky when it comes to reading fiction. What I prefer is professional realistic analysis from the likes of Saker. He backs his arguments with actual facts and not wishful thinking presented as facts and firm conclusions. Saker’s analysis, which is professional and not an amateur product, admits what the author knows and what the author does not know, his analysis does not try to fill the gaps with invented facts but identifies the uncertainties and potential scenarios possible.

For all the idealistic nonsense I have seen on various sites about Trump being a panacea against the “globalists”, “deep-state”, “Zionism”, etc, I say: “Wait and See.” don’t jump to conclusions before you have the facts.

Already Trump has done things that are clearly contrary to the panacea narrative: his political picks: evangelical Protestant bible thumper Mike Pence, John Bolton (an extreme neocon fanatic), Rudy Guilliani; his personal affiliations: all of his adult children are married to Zionist Jews, some have converted (not a problem for me, but for the adherents of this site a blazing redflag – see the Ezra Levant video link in my previous comment); his consistent attacks on China’s mercantile policies (something I personally agree with, but it must be a painful reality check for the believers of Sino-Russo “leadership of Eurasia” fantasy); and his demonizing of Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism.

The Trump idealists seem to have a problem dealing with these above mentioned inconvenient facts. Any analysis that does not seriously address these documented facts, cannot be taken seriously.

I’m not the guy surprised if Trump will be charged with corruption things – or been murdered like JFK. A perfect hitman could be “Muslim terrorist”. And isn’t it nice to have mediocre guy like Pence sitting in White House?

During the VP debates Pence regurgitated the identical template Anti-Russia, anti-Putin talking points spewing out of Hitlery Clinton’s maw. That was worrying. It took Trump having to explicitly disavow Pence’s comments and repudiate them in his 2nd presidential debate to stop this from morphing into a Trump foreign policy shift.

I hope we are both wrong about Pence.

We are in a time of great uncertainty and it would be very unwise to drop our guard now; this would be the worst time to do so. The only thing positive that has happened is that Hitlery ClingtoPower has been given a savaging two-sided slap to her rotting face by Americans still in touch with their soul and the emanence of God; the guiding light that permitted them to feel her evil at a visceral level, dispelling the illusions of the MSM.

Its probably about time to stop daydreaming about Trump changing things massively to help bring peace. So far his picks for appointments come on the “hawkish” side of the spectrum. I did (and do) think that we dodged a nuclear bullet with the defeat of “Killary”. But because Trump (so far) doesn’t seem a psychotic murderer,like she was. That doesn’t make him the “God of Peace” either.It should just be accepted that the US on all levels of power believe in ,and want hegemony. Whether they are Democrats or Republicans,they believe in the empire.Some are more willing than others to “deal” (whether they intend to honor the deals is another matter). But make no mistake that does not make them “friends”.Just smarter enemies.Its best to remember the last time Russia was offered a “Trojan Horse” ,and Gorbachev took it inside the walls.There was a famous saying of Reagan’s that Putin should adopt “trust but verify”.

There are in my opinion two type’s of neo-cons (that in itself is an ambiguous term).The first kind as we’ve seen in Obama’s regime.And that Clinton ape’d.Are from the more zionist wing of the “Anglozionist” Empire. Those (mostly) Trump may drop. But the others are from the Anglo wing of the Anglozionist Empire. And those he seems to have no problem with.Unlike the zionist wing which seems to have a pathological hatred for Russia (based on Russian-Jewish history I believe).The Anglo wing see’s Russia as an enemy. But one that can be dealt with to get what they want. The “desires” are the same. Only the methods may be different (without the visceral hatred).

One of Trump’s main advisers. A man I remember from the past, as one main “bad guy”,John Bolton. May become his SOS (and if not,still a main adviser).He says the only “long term” goal for Iran is “regime change”.Another one talks of the death penalty for Snowden. So I doubt Assange,who helped them,more than “greatly” in the election .Can hope for any help from them.And another has said “Assad must go”. So,while it “may” be possible to deal with Trump.Lets stop holding our breathe over it. And just be happy,that the supreme warmonger is out. But not think we can start to join hands with the US’s “new regime” and sing Kumbaya,just yet.

Like with any change in regimes,many posts must be filled.I think for the US President its about 4500 posts with the new regime to fill. Those are unlikely to go to “new men”. He isn’t searching the Saker blog to appoint people that think like we do.Those posts will go to supporters of his. And to Republicans that he needs to use to get support in Congress from. Those people in Congress he needs,are almost all Russophobes. And have supported or even pushed the neo-con position under Bush for war in the Middle East.Which ever wing of the neo-cons they come from. They are still not Russia’s friends.Its somewhat like the US talking about “moderate terrorists” as opposed to jihadi terrorists. They both are “headchopping” terrorists. Just as the two wings of neo-cons,are still both neo-cons.

Re UB1:
“Like with any change in regimes,many posts must be filled.I think for the US President its about 4500 posts with the new regime to fill. Those are unlikely to go to “new men”.”

I can’t help wondering whehter there is any such thing in this country as a more or less apolitical civil service. A type of technocrat who does her/his job, regardless of the party in power. Oh, and can we at least pay lip service to the idea of “new people”?

When teaching in Czechoslovakia shortly after the Velvet Revolutoin, I noticed in the uni where I was teaching that there was a whole new cadre in charge. The problem was that most of the peple who were, for example, department heads, had no idea how to manage anything, as they had been denied the opportunity to get the needed experience under the prev. regime. So, actually, a lot of things were a shambles, and a lot of the “bad old things” were also still in place.

Another issue with Trump’s need to fill positions is that there were so few loyalists. Who could bleam him for not wanting to reward people (like Eliot Cohen—good comment on that at Moon of Alabama) who denigrated him curing the campaign. Now they want to give him orders!!! Funny . . .

BTW, though, Uncle Bob 1 seems to be kind of talking down to the Saker community, with his comments about Kumbaya with Trump, etc. My impression is that the Saker community has shown a good understanding that Trump was a calculated risk, a gamble on the hope, the chance, however slim, but greater than that offered by Clinton, that he would reduce tensions with Russia. Basically nothing more than that.
Katherine

Good observation and post Katherine. Alas though, Uncle Bob has poignant comments and unfortunately as has been the case of Syria and the Donbass, only time will tell. From many of the writings here to articles it is clear that there are many who are tired of the current state in the affairs of mankind. All we can do is though work at the grassroots level to discuss and educate and observe the actions of people who take positions of power and try to hold them accountable.

The later action on our part are the hardest but withe the addition of the grassroots work, if our representatives fail us, then holding them more accountable becomes easier as society achieves critical mass, seeing through the deceptions those of power try to use.

Personally I still believe it is the money system that has to be dealt with and fundamentally changed even removed. Societies need a better gauge of value, one that represents life on this planet and respects it as well. In the mean time, our fingers are crossed and we wait and watch to see the path the new administration walks.

From Justin:
“Personally I still believe it is the money system that has to be dealt with and fundamentally changed even removed”

I echo your concern, and so did William Lyon Mackenzie. Mackenzie was Canadian Prime Minister from 1935 to 1948

“Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talks of the sovereignty of Parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.”

Canada ran a Sovereign money system from 1938 to 1974. Note that this time frame overlays Mackenzie, which is why he is one of the great men of history.

In 1974 Canada was coerced and bribed by Bank of International Settlements (and other usual suspects) to become debt spreading.

Canada did amazing things when they were fully sovereign. In a debt spreading system, debt instruments are a form of control over debtors. Creditors (who hold the instruments) put debtors into a form of slavery. Usury from the debt system pyramids into a few hands, hence Oligarchy is formed. Credit as money is formed by private corporate entities with keyboard strokes, so the relation between Credit and Debt is not 1:1; the money system is pretense and fraud.

Trump has to grab hold of the media, which is now owned by six corporations, and he has to get control of the money system, which is now predominantly in private hands.

Without these two elements (money and press) under sovereign control, many things become “idle and futile.”

There lays his problem. The elite controlled media has an almost 100% anti-Trump policy. Since there is no government owned media for him to purge. He is stuck with an enemy media.Unless he bends to the will of the elite.The media will be anti-Trump for four long years.And as we’ve seen during the campaign,they can convince quite a few Americans. He won the election,but not the popular vote.So we see that the media was able to convince many voters ,that “white was black,peace was war,and freedom was slavery”. And considering how they are currently behaving,they learned nothing from the election. And will just double-down against Trump.

“My impression is that the Saker community has shown a good understanding that Trump was a calculated risk, a gamble on the hope, the chance, however slim…”

Oh, no, madam, that´s not true. I do not know what you understnd right now by “The Saker community”, since I do not recall seeing you over here so much before, and a bunch of others just came in around the summer, but, after the election there was a bunch of people here, with unestimable help of others at every level, defending Trump as if there was no tomorrow, even reaching to the insults, which were let through.

Anyway, taking into account that “When teaching in Czechoslovakia shortly after the Velvet Revolution,…”, I do not know about others, but I am starting to make myself an idea “what dog you have in this fight”.

Uncle Bobs posting seems to be one of most objective and adult postings I’ve seen so far on this topic. He’s simply stating facts and giving a reality check to those that run off half-cocked with emotion and wishful thinking. I think some of the insights in Bobs last posting make a lot of sense and are really worthwhile keeping in mind. (such as his defining two types of neocons).

Uncle Bob 1, I have to agree with your comments. Admittedly, I am heavily influenced by the response of Canada’s govt, including “Sunny Ways” PM Trudeau, who just visited Cuba, while the Cubans were holding military exercises. And then followed by sending a Canadian warship, Fredericton, to visit Havana for the first time in 50 years. (According to the news release, “HMCS Fredericton will visit the ports of Havana, Cuba; Cartagena, Colombia; and Veracruz, Mexico, to enhance mutual understanding, cooperation, and capacity with partners in the region.”)

This is about as far from singing, Kumbaya, as it gets. (And Trudeau has probably done exactly this around a campfire, many times before – while holding a yoga pose maybe!!) BTW, prior to his demise in 2011, Jack Layton was leader of a growing Left party — authentic Left-left party — right here in Canada. His party had received a million more votes in the last federal election he ran in. Former MP Lloyd Axworthy recently complained that Canada is one of the only “liberal-minded, open-minded” countries remaining right now. So the Left is not dead!! Just many of its most prominent leaders – all in the same few years, coincidentally. New ones will emerge, I’m sure.

I wonder if Trump’s administration is taking the approach of building as much leverage as possible, prior to negotiations. So perhaps, consolidating power in the Hegemon as a first step?? We’ll see what happens after that.

This time, Canada included……
Maybe, seeing the series of happening in the US, with the rising of the “alt right” and taking into account its quite huge “Banderite reserve” inside, Canada has seen the wolf´s ears coming out?

The UN vote definitely reflects a shift from both Trudeau, and the government he leads, it’s true. What happened, I wonder? Based on my own experience, I guess that he was threatened by his “partners”… and found himself (and this country) some new partners. Self preservation is a powerful motive – even among politicians. :-) t

The ominous, super duper inflated, spooky Canadian Banderites have been around for ages. Under the watchful eye of the law enforcement. (I first heard about this group 20+ years ago and I was shocked!!) Without cooperation from the government, it is unlikely that this group is much cause for concern. As in other countries, the law enforcement folks are fully capable of handling the swastika-bearing, bald headed zealot types. Nothing new.

Have to agree with Uncle Bob. Wait and see. For instance, when will Afghanistan be free of Usanian soldiers and mercenaries? When will Europe be free of them? NATO disbanded? Don’t hold your breath.

I read the Steve Bannon transcript. He strikes me as your typical superficial Anglozionist BS propagandist. The “Judeo-Christian” (mentioned by him no less than 7 times) West “in an outright war against jihadist Islamic fascism”, also facing Russia and China. Too many well-known narratives (= lies).

Whenever I see “Judeo-Christian”, red flag goes up immediately … The cultural foundations of Europe used to be enumerated as (a) Greek-Roman antiquity and (b) Christianity. There’s been a tendency for a decade or more to postulate “Judeo-Christian” foundations, displacing classic antiquity by Judaism. This is so very wrong. Could be there are Jewish cultural foundations (via Calvinist protestantism) in Usania, but not in Europe.

I think your point cannot be overstated. The Judeo-Christian Chimera is held together by spit. lies and wishful thinking. No such beast can live.
Judaism was the primitive, syncretic religion of several small tribes which of course have nothing to do with modern Khazar Ashcanazi ‘Jews’. They had no claim to anything innovative or unique, especially not to their loudest claim of all – monotheism. It has now died as a primitive, syncretic religion, having contributed nothing to the human record but Zionism, its totally secularized form.

The obligatory staged picture of a child with cut on forehead -there’s plenty of real injuries, why the need for staging?

The video is Soros, Hegemon & vassal approved.

No helmets but at 2:16 the White helmet logo of hegemon vassal approved staged video piece of the again obligatory child being scooped up by a Soros funded White Helmet now wearing a jacket advertising the White Helmet logo and affiliation. The logo bug is continuously at the top left of the video.

According to the BBC, civilians would rather die than leave Aleppo and the corridors out were a Russian and Syrian government lie anyway.

In a sadistic way BBC is right on that one. In fact, people trying to leave the jihadist-infested eastern Aleppo find themselves shut in the back by these head choppers. The most recent move of the jihadists was to ask for a ransom of some 600 Euros to allow adult people (iirc 18-60 years old) to leave eastern Aleppo. Now guess what?

1. The few men and women that could afford the ransom fear for their lives when paying it, because they would admit their willingness to leave in doing so.
2. Anyone that would leave children or elderly family members behind would fear for their lives as well when leaving.
3. Because of the above reasons, it is clear to me that this jihadists’ offer is at best an effort to get rid of their potential opponents in eastern Aleppo, who would fight them to the death if force to.

It must be beyond the intellectual capacity of BBC to come to the right conclusions.

No, the BBC’s head honcho some time ago declared they would work closely with MI6. They know exactly, on foreign affairs at the least, what kind of tabloid lies, spin & propaganda they are churning out and -worse- are happy ro do so.

Depending on Trump’s strategy they may, like all vassals, have to change their ways. Vassals ten to get thrown uder the bus once they have outlived their usefulness.

Taken together with the link provided in the article (the Vatican meeting), Larchmonter445 has opened out a very interesting and promising vista on the future. I note that John Bolton is still hovering around various gatherings and I’ve made my views about this very dangerous man known previously. In short he would be a divisive figure whose potential for infection and subversion of the Trump Project, is very considerable – and of course he is a long-standing and pre-eminent member of the neo-con Deep State. I just hope that Team Trump don’t go for the LBJ option of “it’s better to have him in the tent p…sing out, than outside the tent p….sing in”.

The MSM in the UK are going completely mental about Steve Bannon and having read his views here, I can now understand why; with the right people around him and a shared and unified team vision, the cleaning of the Augean Stables via Project Trump bodes ill for the elites and presages better times to come for ordinary people everywhere in the West, and maybe elsewhere too, not just in the US. It is a breathtaking prospect, if it can be realised. We can only hope.

First off my apologies for the delay in replying to you;l I don’t get on this site every day.

Basically since Vietnam, the MIC and Wall St have contnued to make obscene profits on the back of the US taxpayer and are unwilling to give up without a fight. This takes no account of other widespread US global commitments. Vietnam effectively bankrupted the US; by 1967 c. one million tons of materiel, weapons, food, fuel etc were being shipped into ‘Nam every month and the cost over time was astronomical, even for the US. Crucially there was no payback from this conflict; it was a lose -lose situation every which way. More than the Korean War this gave the MIC – Wall St nexus an appetite for more of the same. Consequently political life in the US was captured by agents of this nexus and to cut a long story short, the nexus has required near continual foreign adventures to keep the demand for ever more weaponry to be developed at ever increasing cost. The money for this, again cutting a long story short, has been and continues to be provided by Wall St and as you know the financial machinations of the last two decades have made Wall St richer and the US poorer as a result. This symbiosis between the MIC and Wall St has lon g been reegarded as unassailable.

If Trump sticks to his word and disengages the US from military adventures, assuming that’s even possible for any US administration, the net result would be the unlocking of very considerable revenue/treasure. Assuming that a Trump administration actually understands the real nature of the problems vis a vis the disaffected and underemployed, principally blue collar, but increasingly the middle class including some professiions, then they are faced with two choices. Either they go for a nationwide re-education/retraining programme, with a view to taking on the social-economic challenges posed by e.g. the BRICS, or they recognise what the future portends and embark on an entirely new social-political project that recognises that we are unavoidably headed for a future without work, one or two professions and the creative sector excepted. All of this is a very big ask, yet it is a unique historical opportunity. I won’t insult your intelligence by detailing what this paradigm shift involves, what the challenges are and the opposition faced by anyone essaying either of these courses. This situation is not unique to the US; what is unique is that no one else will have a Trump at the helm and, looking on the bright side, the potential for meaningful change inherent in that.

Once again, people need to CHILL on both the negative and positive speculations on Trump’s actions until he actually TAKES some.

Having messed up advisers is not unusual – all Presidents have them. Some of the hardcore Republicans he appears to be considering will be bad news for Russia and the Middle East. But that’s only IF Trump actually takes their advice and doesn’t made decisions on his own with additional information – also quite possible given how Presidents act.

At this point we don’t know what will happen. But based on history, it wouldn’t be out of line to think that Trump will be still another horrible President in a long line of same.

No President can clear out the Deep State without risking assassination. That can only be done by a sustained campaign by the electorate starting with electing ONLY those candidates who advocate banning all corporate campaign contributions and all corporate lobbying, then following that up with a clean out of ALL the intelligence agencies.

This ain’t gonna happen under Trump or anyone else. So expect things to get worse before they get better – if ever.

Well, very realistic last words, now go out there and tell the same to the “deep US” who voted for Trump, and praise for not to be lynched.

Sooner or later those people would reach to the same conclussion and then ,i wonder what they are going to do with all that “anger” Trump has managed to rise with him to the top to win this election. To the shots, I fear, as is the custom.

Maybe this time not even the “moderate rich” will be safe in the US…..

I remember, quite time ago, reading that, the really rich people in the US were increasingly living in closed communities guarded by “private security firms” ( many of these of Israeli origin ) and that this was because they had been advised to do it in front of a possible future escenery.

deep state allowed Trump to win. empire is huge and it reached dead end which in near future could resulted with nuclear war. empire need strategic retreat, without loosing face, to reset own collossaly failures and prevent the decline of empire. USA has own “nature” and purpose and i doubt that one man can change anything in that sense. Trump will try to save that purpose and nature of USA. Trump is “life vest” for empire and deep state.
another thing, 1% or less ultra rich got their wealth from middle class. not for poor. none can get rich from poor. but middle class becomes poor class almost everywhere. there is justified fear of 1% that they can experience revolutions. they had two options, as i see it, war with Russia and revolutions. war are making people with money and private property is allways guaranteed no matter who win. revolutions are started by hungry people and private properties are not guaranteed at all. both options are very bad. in this situation Bart Simpson would be also good president. anyone who will act as president oposite of last 20 year of USA policy.
just thinking. maybe everything wrong.

“So a few neocons and warmongers like John Bolton and General Keane have made it into Trump Tower. But he eschewed them all these years and throughout the campaign. I doubt they will have any role in policy. He considers them failures”

If he considers the sods to be failures, then why include the things at all? The one thing I do see as consistent about trump and those he has brought on board his “team” is extreme israeli friendliness.

Since the main driving force behind the anti-trump side is also extreme israeli friendlies, this raises some questions. Especially about some of trump’s foreign policy statements. Namely Russia and Syria.

Especially Syria, since trump’s statements there directly conflict with the greater israel strategy Syrian conquest is a very necessary element of. Hence the obama regime continual moves towards that objective, and the obvious continuation of it planned under a clinton regime. The euro zio-quislings are still in overdrive pushing it.

This greater israel objective of conquest of Syria is also a primary objective of the subhuman neocon critters, who rubber stamp the worst of zionazi policy. Always. So, again, why include this freakshow at all if their goals are so different from one’s stated goals?

My own view is the trump vs clinton competition is one between different israeli interests, with those backing clinton being the more powerful, and more extreme. The ones who are more impatient for greater israel than perhaps those who had fronted trump. Geopolitical realists. The adolescents vs the teenagers, I suppose. Either or, they are still israeli, IE: zionist and defective.

I’d trust an israeli, a zionist, or supporter of either, as far as I could drop-kick them. The only reason I thought trump was a viable alternative to clinton was his statements on Russia and Syria, his other policy statements struck me as more of the same western capitalist horse manure (IE: the default right wing deference to money and power). Should he prove to be bs’ing about Syria, his being Kennedy’d or Wellstone’d by the neocon psychos, and their getting caught for it, and likewise eliminated, would be welcomed.

BTW, a cursory search of Breitbart and Syria turned up headlines that were seemingly knocking the zionazis propaganda lines about that country. I didn’t read the articles, though, being the lazy bastard I am.

That ‘inert hand-grenade on the desk’ Bolton could even be considered I found initially unbelievable but I understand the execrable Bolton is a kiss-up kick-down type of abrasive scrapper.

If, and that’s a big if, Trump behaves reasonably then having a Bolton muscle for proxy house-cleaning miight be just what is needed.
I am unsure though that I am comfortable with this dangerous conjecture.

Thanks, vot tak, but notice that, despite the titular, the article by RT ( who is supossed to be the one where he looks favourable ) is very cautious, stating:

“The Pentagon veteran, who was a key figure in the Bush administration’s War on Terror,”….

“…the Pentagon veteran is seen by some as representing the legacy of firebrand former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld….As the former commander of special ops in Iraq and Afghanistan, he is considered to be “one of the most influential figures in the dramatic post-9/11 expansion of the role of US Special Operations forces globally,”….

“There continues to be anxiety about what the new US president will do on a whole series of issues, including, but not limited to, Syria, Iran, and Russia.”

So there is no excesive hopes in Russia with respect to the new US administration, as is wise to do.

Then you have that he says in his book that “Radical Islam is an ally of North Korea, Russia, China, Irán, Cuba and Venezuela”, so, when he says that the US must fight “radical islam” harder, who is he referring to? Obvioulsy can not be ISIS…Then, is this man so confussed? I fear not, and if I were the Russians i would be very careful in sharing intelligence with this individual.

For those who may want to connect dots I would add a ” coincidence” just read yesterday in an essay which was comparing Trump with Lyndon LaRouche. In that essay it is said that D. Rumsfeld is a member of the Schiller Institute, think tank of the LaRouche movement.

Them, vot tak, if you read the transcription of the lecture in the Vatican linked by Larchmonter445, you will find some common places amongst S. Bannon´s and M.Flynn´s ideology. Bannon is stating there that the main enemies of the US are Russia and China, calls V.V.Putin a kleptocrat and claims that it is needed to offer a more agressive containment than that offered by Obama administration against Russia, yes, he is talking about men on the ground ( well nothing strange if these are the frontmen of D.Rumsfeld, remember Irak ).

But, if more is needed to know that both share many ideas, one have not but to test how Flynn was in charge of the department of Breitbart News called “Big Journalism”, and, despite Bannon claimming at that lecture in the Vatican that “nationalism must be separated from racism”, Breitbart news has charactericed itself preciselly by a notorious racist, mysoginist and xenophobic trend.
Would you be willing to accept a charge in a news brand which has this tendence if you are against this?

Also, vot tak, I am sure you have noticed that in the article from The Intercept, Flynn is naming also Israel´s interests along with those of the US.
So, not so much for centering in the US interests and liberating from the AngloZionist cabal and the MIC.
From my poiny of view, has not a good looking and we are nearer now from the WWIII, be it nuclear or whatever.

Obviously, some “businessmen” and some “organizations” have something to win, always….

P.S:Take care, comrade, put yourself under cover.
You always seemed to me a good guy, despite your kinda obsession with the “zio” issue. But now, I just no wonder, since I finally could feel the same playing and treason on myself. Maybe even from the same people, or associates. Difficult to know…I hope all is well.

Isn’t there a situation where DT has got tI work with who is available and who might become able to see both sides of things,situations…..initially people have got to have some stature and knowledge like poacher turned to gamekeeper, then others will later come on and follow on…..rather than DT be accused of bringiing in newbies who are wannabes but will only be accused of being nonentities?

You can stay thinking of “wonderland” for ever if you want.
At this point, i am fully aware what has been/is the purpose of really a bunch here.
Obviously, there are many people who promise a “wonderfull” live with this “team”, since they have earned their price in $ by facilitating it through. The kind of people who here we are supposed to fight, those only pendant of their own profit. Mercenaries. Period.

The rest of us just are waiting to suffer the consequences.
Beware that what you have elected does not turn against you one day, for them you are no other thing but tools, and some of you perhaps know too much….

“The incident took place at Harlem Park Elementary/Middle School on Tuesday, but was not reported to the school district until Wednesday after a parent posted a video of the verbal abuse to social media.

The shocking video, filmed by an eighth grade student in the classroom, went rapidly viral and was viewed millions of times by Thursday.

In the footage, a science teacher who has not been publicly identified is seen losing control of her class and becoming increasingly agitated and aggressive. At one point she is seen grabbing a black student by the hood of his jacket and kicking him out of the classroom. She also refers to the students as “idiots” and “stupid.”

“You just sit here and do nothing day after day after day. Get out!” she yells at the student. She then turns to the class and directs her tirade at the rest of them, declaring that they “are getting zeroes for doing nothing!”

The distraught teacher then tells the students that if they do not receive an education they will end up as “punk ass n*****s” who are “going to get shot!”

Students responded to her comment with shock and appear visibly stunned by her outburst. That did not stop the teacher from continuing her verbal abuse, however.

Baltimore schools CEO Sonja Santelises told the Baltimore Sun that she was “appalled” by the video. “There are many people who struggle with classroom management, but they don’t resort to hate language,” she said. “We can’t provide enough support to counteract what’s in someone’s heart.”

The school district released a statement saying that the teacher’s contract had been terminated.

“Yesterday a middle school science teacher at Harlem Park Elementary/Middle School engaged in verbally abusive behavior and made racially charged comments directed at students. The teacher involved in the incident is no longer employed by City Schools,” a statement from Baltimore City Public Schools read.”

No doubt israel’s for america futa freak show (conservative talk radio that the zionazi gays refer to themselves) will make one of their fecal stinks about a white teacher unfairly dismissed for disciplining bad darkies who had it coming.

She deserves a medal for trying to wake up her students and get them to accept responsibility for their lives and not set them up to be dependant on others causing mayhem……”teenage jail shock”approach.
There are 4 learning styles…I invented another.”anaesthetic” to describe such students who just ain’t interested, too lazy to learn.

(Removed MOD) I mean really. The whole circus shows the 1% are turning against each other because they have sucked everyone else dry. Trump didn’t make his money “working hard” and being a rugged individualist aka John Galt(who only exists in the mind of a crazy serial killer worshiping lesbo), he got a loan from daddy. Trump is as much of the 1% as the “deep state”. This is just another circus for the masses to divert their attention as was taking Nixon down to get an escape goat to diverts the sheep’s attention. Rule number 1: The rich don’t share their wealth, that’s why they are rich. If the sheeple in “America” think Trump is their friend who cares about them, they are 100% deluded but they will learn how wrong they are very soon very very soon.

Re”Rule number 1: The rich don’t share their wealth, that’s why they are rich. If the sheeple in “America” think Trump is their friend who cares about them, they are 100% deluded but they will learn how wrong they are very soon very very soon.”

Well, they do “share their wealth” to further their own agendas and ideologies, e.g., Soros, Gates, even the Intercept guy. So it is really a can of worms, because “do-gooding” is also a way to get control of other people and even other countries. Gates’s health-oriented philanthropy does achieve som egood things, but at the same time it imposes conventional views on the recipient organizations and countries. Soros has, obviously, an agenda in Eastern Europe and also in this country. Of course the Clintons’ “philanthropy” in Haite was an utter travesty; they used that earthquake-stricken country to reward their foundation cronies with contracts, etc., and most of what they promised was never done (such as rebuild Port-au-Prince).

This has ever been the situation with philanthropy, going back to the Renaissance and beyond (see, e.g., Alexander Lee, The Ugly Renaissance): it usually serves the agenda of the philanthropist. I guess this is a bit OT, but the rich do “share” their wealth to achieve their own goals (a primary on e of which is to polish their own image and replace the rapacious capitalist/schemer reality). A very few are somewhat idealistic and have IMO done real good. For example, the Rosenwald schools in the South; the Carnegie libraries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_library)

Brothers and Sister: We road to the sound of the Brexit Guns and attacked the Globalists’ Left Flank in Washington D.C. Now its time for the Italians, Dutch and the French to finish the Neo-Hapsburgs off!

Why such morbid fear? McCain, of course, is the chief spokesman of the military-industrial complex in America. Many top arms manufacturing companies are based in Arizona, the state which Mccain represents in the senate. ‘Saker’, the US-based military analyst, gives a satisfactory explanation as to why there’s such panic in Washington:
He (Flynn) has connections to Gazprom, is well-liked in Moscow, and will be a link for American energy companies and perhaps some joint ventures in the gas field development and pipeline industry. Several friends of Trump are from the gas and oil industry… The Arctic, the eastern Mediterranean, the South China Sea and other large development zones have enormous new fields to be tapped and exploited.
The primary interest of the Trump foreign policy will be to make America wealthy again. The Eurasian development has already attracted Trump to the OBOR of China and the AIIB infrastructure bank. Probably the entire New Silk Road of China and EAEU of Russia is not going to be without major US participation.
Read ‘Saker’ on Flynn’s appointment. (here)

In case all that would be true, that I doubt, only would mean that they have choose to cooperate for to take a piece of the cake instead of confront and obtain nothing but expends in financing proxy-wars.
But, that panoram you are painting there, in the best case, only means that this presidency would be for to some friends of the appointed to get richer, I can not see how the common US people would benefit in any way.

The problem is that, those characters rised to the top, does not seem the kind of people who conform themselves with a “piece of the cake”. I see them more to get into participating in bussiness in Russia and China to have a better position to blast these countries from inside.
Their facts precede them.
Forget about promises and bla, bla bla…and stick to the facts. What these people have done/ have said in the past and who is behind them.

I hope that Bannon will help Trump to drain the swamp, but what do you think about this comment(taken from the link provided in article): “I’m not justifying Vladimir Putin and the kleptocracy that he represents, because he eventually is the state capitalist of kleptocracy.”

Or this: “I think that Putin and his cronies are really a kleptocracy, that are really an imperialist power that want to expand.”

Fantastic article. Thanks Larchmonter445. I wonder if you were the author of “The double Helix”. That is what I remember. Your analyses usually are very good and I consider you to be in the same league with Andrew Korybko. Regards.

I wrote a comment in FortRuss some time ago, and you told me that some big change was going to happen by the middle of this year. I did not forget it. At that time, I was worried about the coup d’état that was building up fast in Brazil… Now, reading this article – and following the links -, I understand better what you meant.

The link to Bannon’s Vatican interview made me think that the big change you describe – a world revolution, actually – is being planned for some time, involves some people around the world, and seems to have started outside the US. I wonder if you know more about that meeting. Anyway, certainly, the big change will have to happen in the US, the far west of the world, where the centre of the problems lies.

It is wonderful to be alive at this time in history, to be aware of the struggles and of their meaning – even if we suffer during this turbulent time of transition to a better world. Thank you, Larchmonter445, for this great article, where we can get more information – and indeed keep faith that changes are coming.

Larchmonter445, OT somewhat, but what is your view on the Calexit/West Coast exit? I just did a search and was surprised to see some serious proposals and discussion about this. Do you see this as a deep state move? (I have to admit, I had thought of Michigan joining Canada somehow, because of the water crisis and Great Lakes connection. I never thought I’d see a serious article in an GCM US newspaper, discussing the possibility of the West Coast states becoming part of Canada.)

Dave Hodges from the Common Sense Show believes that the Soros/Clinton machine is trying to launch a Marxist takeover or revolution in the US, through the youth. He also says that California’s PTB are securing Calexit funding through the Bank of China?

The Calexit issue is nothing. Its purely a PR event to make Trump look bad. History has shown that no state is able to succeed from the US .Its illegal under law. But regardless of the law. No President would allow it to happen.The 1860-1865 period shows the results of any state trying it. As I said, its purely the “butt-hurt” losers from the election trying to stir up trouble. If they ever truly tried it you’d see civil war break out “inside” the state. And Federal troops declare martial law,occupy the state,and declare the state government overturned for treason.And a new state government installed.Once the people of California realize clearly what would happen to them if they tried it. They will quickly end that BS.

Uncle Bob 1, you live there, so I’m sure you know what’s going on. But, “illegal under the law” assumes that the butthurt losers aren’t above the law, or able to operate with impunity. The fact that semi-serious articles are published even in The Seattle Times (“what should we call our new state?”) shows that at least one major media corporation is supportive. Always we hear, problems will be solved with a civil war, locally or nationally. My hope is that Trump proposes a non-violent method for addressing this (when his focus shifts to domestic concerns.) Surely someone in his team can come up with something other than the threat of using force. Less riots, the better.

I can’t find the link, but I read a piece on Canada’s PM Trudeau at APEC this morning. He is asked about opening discussions about NAFTA, and he replies, “if someone wants to discuss something, I’m open to discussions. That’s just the way I govern”. Something like that.

Who do you suppose may be wanting discussions with him. Wake up, Trump administration and America.

“Dave Hodges from the Common Sense Show believes that the Soros/Clinton machine is trying to launch a Marxist takeover or revolution in the US, through the youth.”

Make that the “Uncommon Nonsense Show” — at least in this case. If so-called “Cultural Marxism” is what’s being hinted at, that takeover took place half a century ago. Granted, the Euro-trash could be said to be a much stronger case in point with a whole generation of imperialist war-mongers in office claiming “progressive” descent and even aspirations: most notably environmentalists and sexual degenerates of all kinds. In the context of the US, it translates first and foremost to the latter’s equally vile and rotten NGO/HR businesses.

Thus, for Cultural Marxism it’s long since “Mission Complete”. This raises the corollary question whether Clinton and Soros could be turning to classical, ossified Marxism as a means to save their Zionazi Empire.

To me, this comes across as silly beyond laughable. Sure, Social Democracy is centered around the idea of sharing the spoils of Empire with the vast majority population in the imperialist heartlands to bring about prosperity and social peace there. But this is precisely what today’s neoliberals and neoconservatives are totally opposed to. The erstwhile rock-solid mass base of social imperialism is being targeted for a very violent assault from above as the lifestyles enjoyed cannot be afforded any longer. If I were Soros or Clinton, I would stick to Cultural Marxism and neoconservatism. Classical, ossified Marxism is a complete dead-end in this regard.

Verdict: Pindos tormented by unrequited love on the part of their regime surely give us some interesting food for thought, albeit highly contrived.

California was originally part of Mexico before America stole it in the 19th century.

So California should be returned to Mexico along with the southwest of the USA that America also stole from the mexicans. Yet Americans have the gall to talk about illegal immigrants–as if the USA itself is not a nation founded by illegal invaders.

Indeed, America is nothing more than a White settler empire, based at its core on slavery, genocide, and the theft of an entire continent.

These crimes are America’s true values since 1776: looting, invading, colonizing behind the mask of “freedom”.

But the Americans are so twisted that they believe that they have a God-given right to occupy all the lands they stole, much like their zionist Israeli allies who occupy Palestine.

These American values are why the USA is an existential threat–and why the United States will face its Day of Reckoning soon.

“But the Americans are so twisted that they believe that they have a God-given right to occupy all the lands they stole, much like their zionist Israeli allies who occupy Palestine.”

what it outlines is a very simple case of making virtue out of necessity. Parasites, after all, have little choice. The exceptionalist-indispensable psychobabble is the ideological manifestation of militant parasitism.

actually, mexico ‘owned’ california for less than twenty years. they never even got around to appointing a governor. it was nothing more than unsupported bands looking for free land, exactly like the original american colonists.
remember, the nation of mexico is no more the natural and original owners of their land than america. it was a spanish slave colony; ie white conquerors from europe occupying land previously owned by primitive barbarians. we can lament the loss of the ‘noble savage’ all day long, but to pretend that white america is the heart and soul of evil in the world is to swallow the same imperial propaganda you claim to oppose.
the noble savage was doomed the day gunpowder was invented, if not the day deep-water ships were invented… America is no more, nor less, evil than any other imperial power. the problem we face now is collusion across the globe and the possibility of creating a true international order. The only salvation from an empire, historically, is the onslaught of barbarians from without during a time of intense corruption within. if America alone was the threat, islam would be the salvation, rising to attack while the United States has grown so corrupt it no longer seeks to preserve its own dominance, it’s leaders instead tearing the nation apart to further their private interests.
the real threat, whether it be Zionism, Bolshevism, Nazism, or whatever ism you prefer, is an international coterie of power brokers who rule every nation.
Every nation.
Everything we see today is merely squabbling over who shall sit the throne. Britian had it. Then germany, russia, and america fought to see who would ascend and america won. Now, china is making it’s play. Don’t fall for the narrative that ‘America is evil’. The United States government is wholly owned and controlled by the same global power brokers that run Red China, fascist Russia, and the EU.
In the end, it’s still the same empire.

Thanks for a great article and food for thought. I think for some time a rift has grown between some Anglos and the Zionists. I think some of the dissident Anglos are in the military and some are industrialists.

It is all a bit reminiscent of 1933. How did FDR manage to drain the swamp and not get assassinated? How did he get Glass Steagall and all the other acts through? We know, through General Smedley Butler, about the plans for a coup but when the Zionists want someone they usually get him. Wall Street became a shadow of itself during the 1940s, 1950s and only started reviving during the 1960s. The really smart young people headed into the big companies. I believe 1) the Zionists were far more interested in what was happening in Germany and the creation of their state and 2) they had far less control over the state and media apparatus than they have now and 3) for Anglos, communism was a threat. In the Golden Era as far as the Anglo elite were concerned, despite a newly empowered labor force, profits were rolling in.
In other words the creation of the state of Israel gave America a couple of decades of peace and prosperity. Once Israel was consolidated it was time to bring back Wall Street and Milton Friedman was their man. Having studied this in some depth what strikes me is how quickly they reconstituted the 1920s into the 1980s and then some, and how that was mirrored exactly across the pond in the City of London. Wow! How do you do that?

Trump is the perfect candidate to shake things up. His kids have the right religion, he is Israel friendly, so he is allowed a certain latitude. As Larchmonter suggests he may have begun something big.

Sooner or later both the serious left and the right will realise they have been had. To the left the Zionists offered Marxism and to the right they offered the opportunity to mercilessly plunder their companies, to politicians their political connections. They were corrupted. The left never wanted what Marxism offered, but it was developed in such a seductive ideological way that they found it hard to reject.

CEOs I have talked to anguish about orders coming down from investors to cull personnel. So rather than it all being Rothschild communism as I see in so many places the Zionists hit us from the left and from the right. A dialectical victory?

“It is hard for the plain people to think about a thing, but easy for them to feel. Error, to hold their attention, must be visualized as a villain, and the villain must proceed swiftly to his inevitable retribution. They can understand that process; it is simple, usual, satisfying; it squares with their primitive conception of justice as a form of revenge…. [The average reader] is not at all responsive to purely intellectual argument, even when its theme is his own ultimate benefit…. But he is very responsive to emotional suggestion, particularly when it is crudely and violently made, and it is to this weakness that the newspapers must ever address their endeavors. In brief, they must try to arouse his horror, or indignation, or pity, or simply his lust for slaughter. Once they have done that, they have him safely by the nose. He will follow blindly until his emotion wears out. He will be ready to believe anything, however absurd, so long as he is in his state of psychic tumescence”

Mikey, be careful. Even on conspiracy oriented sites you can be labeled as a conspiracy nut, or even troll ;) Let’s take a nap for couple of months and maybe we will wake up in a rosy cosy paradise, where Love, Truth and Justice rule the World… :D
Cheers!

So, Bannon extols what he calls “an enlightened form of capitalism,” enlightened by “Judeo-Christian” values. He specifically rejects “libertarian capitalism” and the impoverishment of the working and middle class in the US, which has been occurring roughly since 1980.

So, what were the characteristics of the “enlightened capitalism” of 1940-1980? I can think of two things right off the top: high marginal tax rates and uncaptured regulation. Is he proposing a return to high marginal tax rates that would discourage the current rent-seeking behavior of corporate CEOs? Is he proposing re-regulation, particularly in the financial sector? I don’t really see either remedy being proposed, other than returning to 8:1 leveraging. He does mention “commercial banks” and “investment banks,” but he doesn’t propose a return to Glass-Steagall. He talks about “no bailouts” and making bond and shareholders take a hit. He hints at “clawing back” bonuses and explicitly talks about prosecuting 35 bank executives, but these are reactive policies. Wouldn’t it be better to prevent or at least discourage such behaviors proactively?

He also seems to be buying into Putin being the head of a kleptocracy. Well, that’s what he inherited, and from the beginning he’s attempted to rein in the kleptocrats enabled by Western advice given to Yeltsin. It takes time to clean up such a system of corruption; I’m sure Bannon and Trump will find that to be true in the US as well.

Bannon talks about “jihadist Islamic fascism,” but later says, “I realize there are other aspects that are not as militant and not as aggressive and that’s fine.” There’s no indication he realizes that the root of “Islamic fascism” is Wahhabism.

I see some real potential problems going forward, but nowhere near as bad as the Democrats and deep state are trying to make it sound.

I have to say that this is the most delusional piece I’ve read on Flynn. Flynn wants war with Iran. Iran has been fighting terrorists in Syria shoulder to shoulder with Russia and Iranian revolutionary guards helped rescue the Russian pilot that survived the Turkish attack on Russian fighter jets.

Flynn was hired to do Israel’s bidding. Netanyahu wants the U.S. to take on Iran. Trump also hired Pompeo to be CIA Director. Prompeo is definitely working for the deep state. He too wants the Iran deal gone. He wants to ramp up the surveillance state. He’s already threatened Ed Snowden labelling him a traitor that should be executed and as CIA Director he can get that done extra-judicially with a false flag operation.

Pompeo wrote in the Washington Post regarding Russia’s involvement in Syria: “Russia continues to side with … rogue states and terrorist organizations, following Vladimir Putin’s pattern of gratuitous and unpunished affronts to U.S. interests,”

Trust nothing that appears to irrationally lavish praise on Trump and his team. I suspect that because Trump is appointing people who all want to tear up the deal with Iran and probably invade Iran, hasbara bloggers are invading the web trying to manipulate an anti-Iran narrative and glorify Trump and his team pretending they are not part of the Neocon organization. How could they not be when the ultimate goal of Clean Break and PNAC, the Zionist Neocon manifestos, was the invasion of Iran??? Flynn is the shadow government’s dream come true! Invading Iran is the ultimate wish of Netanyahu for whom those manifestos were written. No doubt he’s driving the narrative praising these loons and hawks on Trump’s team.

Do not believe a word of this clap-trap that Flynn is the enemy of the deep state. It’s crazy talk. He and the other Iran haters on Trump’s team are going to start another war for Zionism. There is not a hair’s difference in the goal; only the strategy. This is just more of the same on speed.

Bravo! This article and most of the comments are of interest but the reality is more like trying to pick a winner in a fast track where all the horses are mudders. The mud being slung around at the opening gate is nothing but wishful thinking. Trump’s stated strategy is that he’s not going to let on.

I just want to add that Hillary too was promising war with Iran. So, thus far, we are no further behind.
And though these people are shooting their mouths off, they have not done more than that this far.
Iran and Russia should prepare. So should the US people. Attacking Iran will destroy both Israel and the United States.

I think the assumption that Trump is going to go along the plans of China and Russia for the state of world’s affairs is rather premature. Not that I would have a massive problem with that, in principle.

But the fact is, there is a reason why America has fought tooth and nail to maintain hegemonic status. Lose that, and a lot of countries are going to change their trade relations with America, after they’re no longer the Big Brother they must pay tribute to in order to be able to conduct business at all. Losing hegemonic status is always bad for business for the former hegemon. And sooner or later, Trump is going to figure that one out.

Also, Trump’s pick of advisors are rather determined to have a strong hand against Muslim terrorism. Not that I have a massive problem with that in principle, either. But going for ISIS will probably mean some serious military action in the Middle East, and I think it’s premature to assume that Russia is going to agree with all of it. After all, Russia lives next to the Middle East, America doesn’t. You can easily imagine the Americans creating more instability in the region than the Russians are happy with.

Doly, what would you prefer, a strong hand against islamist terrorism or a weak hand? Best thing for Mr. Trump to do is let Mr. Putin and Mr. Assad handle the problems as so far they seem to be doing rather well in that mess.

Actually I think the Syrians are doing quite well considering the state they were in a little over a year ago and the fact that they have singlehandedly held off US/eu for five years. A year ago Syria was calculated as being two weeks from utter failure and a catastrophic defeat, her populace were worn out and being pushed back on all fronts. A year later and it’s the islamic terrorists who are on the run although still being armed, advised and in some instances led by western operatives.

Russia has considerably more of a vested interest than USA in bringing the Syrian War and all the wars in the ME to a successful conclusion of victory against the islamists. We either defeat them in Syria and Irak or we fight them on our home turf. Since Russian home turf is also my home turf you can understand my favoring knocking the pelican drool out of them at a goodly distance away from our fair shores and lands.

We either defeat them in Syria and Irak or we fight them on our home turf.

Let’s be candid there the terrorists like ISIS and then there’s the one’s the U.S. and NATO calls rebel fighters which are still Wahhabi terrorists.

Now, Russia may have had the plane downed in Egypt, and that happened after Russia got involved in Syria, but you know and I know Putin didn’t really go into Syria just to keep the terrorists out of Russia. Actually, that was probably the last thing on his mind when he decided to get involved in that mess the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia started.

And what, pray tell, was the first thing on VVP’s mind after Dr. Assad asked for help?

A terrorist is a terrorist, doesn’t matter who he works for, it’s generally who pays him. If you think their next focus is not Russia if they were to win in Syria then I’ve got some ocean front property in Nevada you might be interested in purchasing.

If as this article supposes that Trump means to ‘drain the swamp’ then he and his ‘America First’ advisers had better realize what they are up against a be prepared to act Decisively as surely the Deep State will if they are to be challenged in their rule in their own interests. This must necessarily be the full aesthetic use of full political power projection. Mass arrests, firings, lengthy jail terms and possible some assassinations to drive the point home is the only way to purge the personnel of the Deep State structure and their masters the western Apex Elites. Then there is the institutional restructuring that must be carried out. Failure to root out or conduct a total clean sweep of the Republic and of all western civilized society, especially the financial and banking structure, will leave this ‘revolution’ in danger of counter insurgency from foreign shores as has taken place before. To be done correctly we are looking at a Mao style sweep but with the people’s benediction as the final goal and reward.

Do I believe Trump means to do this or otherwise experience ‘failure’? Not in the least.

I don’t think anyone with a reasonable point of view of either side thinks a miracle will happen overnight. On the other hand we’ve seen the results of a failed and disastrous domestic and foreign policy from Langley for the last eight years that has led US to the very brink of war with a nuclear power who has clearly stated that any attack on Russian territory will be answered with nuclear weapons if the situation warrants. Now, Mr. Putin could mean ‘battlefield tactical nukes’ or a strategic strike, he and I are not friends well enough for him to confide in me on that point but he has clearly stated numerous times, in case you never read of it, that there will never again be fighting on Russian lands and that includes The Autonomous Republic of Krimea and Federal City of Sevastopol.

This disaster in foreign policy has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents and not so innocents and the surge of literally millions of forced migrants fleeing the fighting. And you want more of the same? Time for change, not a continuation of same old same old.
